One Coat. Striking Results.
Ochre Clay is a warm, earthy tone that does the work of an entire painting session in a single application. Part of The Army Painter's Speedpaint 2.0 range, this paint flows over your basecoated miniature, settling into recesses to create natural shadow while leaving raised surfaces brighter — giving you shading, mid-tones, and highlights in one pass. The result is a rich, sun-baked clay colour that reads beautifully on infantry, terrain, skin tones, leather, and desert-themed basing details alike.
What Is Speedpaint 2.0?
Speedpaint 2.0 is The Army Painter's evolution of their one-coat speed painting formula. Like a wash and a base coat working together, Speedpaint flows across your model and self-shades as it dries — no wet blending, no layering required to get a tabletop-ready result. The 2.0 formula improves on the original with reduced reactivation, meaning you can apply a second coat or a varnish over dried Speedpaint without lifting the layer below. Ochre Clay sits naturally alongside skin tones, bone colours, and earthy browns, making it a genuinely versatile addition to any hobby palette.
Who Is This For?
New painters will find Speedpaint 2.0 one of the most accessible ways to get models off the shelf and onto the table quickly — prime grey or white, apply Ochre Clay, and your models are already looking cohesive. Experienced painters use Speedpaints as a foundation before selective highlighting and detail work, cutting prep time dramatically when painting large units. Ochre Clay in particular earns its place as a go-to for desert schemes, Orruk and orc skin, undead wrappings, worn leather, and sandstone terrain — a colour that rewards any painter who reaches for it.
